During the California Senate debate on Monday night, Democrat candidate Rep. Adam Schiff and GOP candidate Steve Garvey shared a heated exchange in which Garvey blasted Schiff for lying to 300 million Americans about the RussiaGate scandal.
“I think you’ve been censured for lying,” Garvey said to Schiff during the debate.
Schiff tried to score a solid soundbite.
“I was just called a liar by Mr. Garvey. Mr. Garvey, I was censured for standing up to a corrupt president. And you know something? I would do it all over again. Because that corrupt president, that president has been indicted with 91 felony counts, that president that you won’t refuse to support. Yeah, he’s a danger, and I will stand up to him and (former House Speaker) Kevin McCarthy and Jim Jordan and any of those MAGA enablers of his in the Congress. The reason why our democracy is in trouble is because folks don’t have the courage to stand up when they need to.”
But Garvey was ready for him.
“Sir, you lied to 300 million people and you can’t take that back,” Garvey fired back.
